39 dead in Kenya mall attack claimed by militants
NAIROBI, Kenya - Terrified shoppers huddled in back hallways and prayed they would not be found by the Islamic extremist gunmen lobbing grenades and firing assault rifles inside Nairobi's top mall Saturday. When the coast was thought to be clear, crying mothers clutching small children and blood-splattered men sprinted out of the four-story mall.
At least 39 people were killed and more than 150 wounded in the assault, Kenya's president announced on national TV, while disclosing that his close family members were among the dead.
Foreigners were among the casualties. France's president said that two French women were killed, and there were reports of American citizens injured, but the U.S. State Department said it had no further details.
Early Sunday morning, 12 hours after the attack began, gunmen remained holed up inside the mall with an unknown number of hostages. President Uhuru Kenyatta called the security operation under way "delicate" and said a top priority was to safeguard hostages.
As the attack unfolded shortly after noon Saturday, the al-Qaida-linked gunmen asked the victims they had cornered if they were Muslim: If the answer was yes, several witnesses said, those people were free to go. The non-Muslims were not.
Somalia's Islamic extremist group al-Shabab claimed responsibility and said the attack was retribution for Kenyan forces' 2011 push into Somalia. The rebels threatened more attacks.
Al-Shabab said on its Twitter feed that Kenyan security officials were trying to open negotiations. "There will be no negotiations whatsoever," al-Shabab tweeted.
As night fell in Kenya's capital, two contingents of army special forces troops moved inside the mall.
Police and military surrounded the huge shopping complex as helicopters buzzed overhead. An Associated Press reporter said he saw a wounded Kenyan soldier put into an ambulance at nightfall, an indication, perhaps, of a continuing shoot-out inside.
Witnesses said at least five gunmen - including at least one woman - first attacked an outdoor cafe at Nairobi's Westgate Mall, a shiny, new shopping center that hosts Nike, Adidas and Bose stores. The mall's ownership is Israeli, and security experts have long said the structure made an attractive terrorist target.
The attack began shortly after noon with bursts of gunfire and grenades. Shoppers - expatriates and rich Kenyans - fled in any direction that might be safe: into back corners of stores, back service hallways and bank vaults. Over the next several hours, pockets of people poured out of the mall as undercover police moved in. Some of the wounded were moved out in shopping carts.
"We started by hearing gunshots downstairs and outside. Later we heard them come inside. We took cover. Then we saw two gunmen wearing black turbans. I saw them shoot," said Patrick Kuria, an employee at Artcaffe, the restaurant with shady outdoor seating.
Frank Mugungu, an off-duty army sergeant major, said he saw four male attackers and one female attacker. "One was Somali," he said, but the others were black, suggesting that they could have been Kenyan or another nationality.
Al-Shabab, on its Twitter feed, said that it has many times warned Kenya's government that failure to remove its forces from Somalia "would have severe consequences." The group claimed that its gunmen had killed 100 people, but its assertions are often exaggerated.
"The attack at #WestgateMall is just a very tiny fraction of what Muslims in Somalia experience at the hands of Kenyan invaders," al-Shabab said. Another tweet said: "For long we have waged war against the Kenyans in our land, now it's time to shift the battleground and take the war to their land #Westgate."
Al-Shabab threatened in late 2011 to unleash a large-scale attack in Nairobi. Kenya has seen a regular spate of grenade attacks since then but never such a large terrorist assault.
Nairobi's mortuary superintendent, Sammy Nyongesa Jacob, said Africans, Asians and Caucasians were among the bodies brought to the mortuary.
The U.S. State Department condemned "this senseless act of violence that has resulted in death and injury for many innocent men, women, and children."
The U.S. embassy said it was in contact with local authorities and offered assistance. Some British security personnel assisted in the response.
The gunmen told hostages that non-Muslims would be targeted, said Elijah Kamau, who was at the mall at the time of the midday attack.
"The gunmen told Muslims to stand up and leave. They were safe, and non-Muslims would be targeted," he said.
Jay Patel, who sought cover on an upper floor in the mall when shooting began, said that when he looked out of a window onto the upper parking deck of the mall he saw the gunmen with a group of people. Patel said that as the attackers were talking, some of the people stood up and left and the others were shot.
The attack was carried out by terrorists, said police chief Benson Kibue. He did not specify a group. He said it was likely that no more than 10 attackers were involved.
Somalia's president - the leader of a country familiar with terrorist attacks - said his country knows "only too well the human costs of violence like this" as he extended prayers to those in Kenya.
"These heartless acts against defenseless civilians, including innocent children, are beyond the pale and cannot be tolerated. We stand shoulder to shoulder with Kenya in its time of grief for these lives lost and the many injured," President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud said.
The gunmen carried AK-47s and wore vests with hand grenades on them, said Manish Turohit, 18, who hid in a parking garage for two hours.
"They just came in and threw a grenade. We were running and they opened fire. They were shouting and firing," he said after marching out of the mall in a line of 15 people who all held their hands in the air.
A local hospital was overwhelmed with the number of wounded being brought in hours after the attack, so they had to divert them to a second facility. Dozens of people were wounded. Officials said Kenyans turned out in droves to donate blood.
The United Nations secretary-general's office said that Ban Ki-moon has spoken with President Uhuru Kenyatta and expressed his concern. British Prime Minister David Cameron also called Kenyatta and offered assistance.
Kenyan authorities said they have thwarted other large-scale attacks targeting public spaces. Kenyan police said in September 2012 they disrupted a major terrorist attack in its final stages of planning, arresting two people with explosive devices and a cache of weapons and ammunition.
Anti-terror Police Unit boss Boniface Mwaniki said vests found were similar to those used in attacks that killed 76 people in Uganda who gathered to watch the soccer World Cup finals on TV in July 2010. Al-Shabab claimed responsibility for those bombings, saying the attack was in retaliation for Uganda's participation in the African Union's peacekeeping mission in Somalia.

Remember the wails about Apple turning OS X into a "walled garden" when news of GateKeeper emerged? The tool, which allows OS X users to restrict where their apps come from, was announced in February 2012 and was included with Mountain Lion when it was released in July. The controversy hinged on Apple's attempt to guide users toward installing only those apps downloaded from the Mac App Store, or at least settling for a middle ground wherein users could also install apps "signed" by the developer—an action that still costs the developer $99 per year and pads Apple's bank account.
The goal was to increase security on the Mac—especially in light of the recent Flashback scare—but power users bristled. GateKeeper does allow Mac users to install apps from any source they'd like, but it's not as easy as it used to be. The OS throws up flags that warn users about unsigned applications, which can easily discourage people from trying new software.
On the developer side, however, there was a cautious optimism that GateKeeper could mean good things for Mac users. Before GateKeeper was released to the public, Ars interviewed a number of developers who told us they generally felt comfortable with the tiers of control, even if things weren't perfect. Some acknowledged that Apple was indeed stepping up its level of control over users' computers, however, and expressed concern that Apple could change its default settings at any time to limit software distribution even further.
So has the apocalypse come? Two months post-Mountain Lion, are developers suffering from GateKeeper's new restrictions? We reached out to a handful of Mac developers for their perspective, and to see how their work has been impacted by the change.
End-users are better off with GateKeeper
Every developer we spoke to said they believe end users are better off security-wise with GateKeeper. Whether it's because users need to be protected from themselves or they simply need an extra layer of security so they can sleep easier at night, there appears to be a tremendous level of confidence in the fact that users are safer now.
"I think GateKeeper is a huge boon to end-users—it's effective against man-in-the-middle and masquerade attacks, and the latter is a very common vector for malware," Delicious Monster's Wil Shipley told Ars. "GateKeeper is a brilliant design because there's a cost to develop each round of computer viruses/trojans/worms, and GateKeeper lowers the chances of any particular piece of malware being a hit. It changes the economics of malware in favor of Mac users."
Iconfactory's Craig Hockenberry agreed. "I definitely think that GateKeeper is helping end users. I know that whenever I click on a download link and see that the developer hasn't signed their app, I think twice about installing it," Hockenberry told Ars.
It also appears GateKeeper hasn't caused huge problems for developers who actively market and sell their apps. "From a development point-of-view, it's been a simple change with a lot of benefit. I hear a lot of my fellow developers saying the same thing," Hockenberry said.
"It's simple to implement, has low impact on developers and users, and feels like a good way for Apple to block truly malicious applications. We're totally on board," Panic's Cabel Sasser added.
Shipley explained why developers seem to benefit from Apple's implementation of GateKeeper: because it lets customers know that if they trust the company's name, they can trust the company's software, too.
"Without GateKeeper, a customer could download a copy of Delicious Library from some third-party download site which had maliciously inserted some malware into it. We couldn't prevent this, and the user couldn't detect it. Now the user will be informed the software wasn't blessed by us, so they can discard it safely before it ever launches," Shipley said. "That kind of user confidence is what made the iPhone App Store such a success. Many falsely attribute the safety of the App Store to sandboxing, but in fact it's due to the iPhone's implicit version of GateKeeper (e.g., every app that runs on the iPhone has to have been signed by Apple)."
It's worth remembering that there are ways to install non-Mac-App-Store, unsigned apps on your Mac under Mountain Lion—you just have to turn off or work around GateKeeper. This can be done by going to your Settings and into the Security & Privacy control panel, or by right-clicking to force open an unsigned app. This, developer Colin Barrett argues, is easy enough for most users.
"I have not personally heard of people, users or otherwise, having much trouble thanks to Gatekeeper itself. Some folks have had problems with it that were easily solved once they learned about the handy right-click Open 'work-around' Apple included (which is one of my favorite pieces of security UX in recent memory)," Barrett told Ars. "Also, a lot of people have discovered said workaround through the excellent confirmation box Apple includes when you try to turn off Gatekeeper entirely."
Jamie Phelps, a "code wrangler" from AgileBits, echoed this sentiment. "I think Gatekeeper is helping the vast majority of end users. I have Gatekeeper enabled on my Mac. Whenever I download an application and double-click, the 'unidentified developer' pop-up gives me pause," Phelps told Ars. "As a nerd, I know I can bypass this, but at a very minimum it makes me take a beat and think about what I'm doing."
But Sasser warned against turning off GateKeeper due to overconfidence—he's concerned that too many will disable GateKeeper's protections altogether, which might only help to spread malicious software in the future. "Users will all-too-readily set their default to 'Anywhere,' rendering the whole feature useless. I hope that people will think twice before changing this setting," he cautioned.
Challenges faced by smaller developers
Although many developers are happy with GateKeeper, not everyone sees such a rosy future for Mac software. In particular, hobbyist programmers and open source developers—generally, the ones not trying to make money out of the gate—are those whose work is suffering the most from GateKeeper's restrictions. And although they might be OK with that on a personal level, they're not always OK with it when it comes to where the platform is going.
Wesley Reynolds has given up development of his popular Dropbox Droplet widget, thanks in part to Mountain Lion and GateKeeper. His widget stopped working when Mountain Lion was released, and he's unable to figure out how to make it work again without shelling out $99 for a Mac developer account—even though he doesn't make any money from the widget. When I asked him his take on how things have changed, he explained that while he admires what Apple is trying to accomplish, he doesn't like the way the ecosystem hurts smaller developers.
"I could pay my $99 to find out how to fix this problem and sign my app, but I did this as a bit of a hobby to learn how dashboard widgets work, and the $99 was too big a pill to swallow," Reynolds said.
"I think Gatekeeper is pretty much killing the hobbyist coder on Mac. No longer will you be able to grab the tools for free that you need to code a program and then share it with whoever may be interested in it," Reynolds continued. "It was exciting for me to have created a handy little widget as an experiment to learn about Dashboard Widgets, and then, just because it's done, throw it up on the Web and have many thousands of people download it and use it. Now, a hobbyist coder can still download the tools for free, and learn to code and make a neat app that will run on their computer, no problem, but they can't give it to anyone over an Internet connection without Gatekeeper kicking in."
Reynolds acknowledged that there are some end user benefits to this restriction—namely that some hobbyist applications are "half-baked," low-quality, and have the potential to be dangerous. His own widget uses behind-the-scene Terminal commands in order to function, and he pointed out that he could have easily programmed the widget to delete things it shouldn't.
But if not for hobbyist programmers, would OS X be where it is today as a platform? Longtime Mac users no doubt remember the struggle to find useful software for anything, and the robust developer ecosystem we have today might not even exist if not for individuals taking an interest in coding for the Mac in their free time. Many have since turned their hobbies into full-fledged software houses, but there are others still tinkering around to see if they want to hop on board.
"Open source apps are legitimately hurt the worst, I think. Low-budget, but super-useful apps," Reynolds said. "My mom will have a hard time running an old or potentially dangerous app. Now, she'll also have a hard time running an old and harmless app she used to love. But at least it's safety in the better direction."
Where is Apple going from here?
When we first interviewed developers, some indicated a certain level of unease with where the Mac platform might be going. Rogue Amoeba's Paul Kafasis pointed out at the time that Apple already has more control with GateKeeper than it did previously—even with the middle-ground option. Stand Alone's Ben Gottlieb said he actually fears the day Apple tries to change the default to "only allow App Store apps."
Reynolds, unsurprisingly, took a similar stance when I asked him what he thought. "I think the Mac will be further locked down, requiring sandboxing for non-App Store apps perhaps?" Reynolds said. "I can see a world where you are unable to download an app to your Mac from the Internet without going through the manicured App Store, but that's a huge burden and liability to Apple if they claim 100% ownership over taste and over what is a 'good' app, and something awful goes wrong. The hobbyist coder will really be dead and buried at that point."
But the other developers I spoke to seemed to have a more positive take on the direction of third-party software on OS X.
"I really think Apple is in the business of creating the best experience possible for their users. I don't think that means Mac App Store apps only, because I don't think anyone at Apple would argue that the loss of apps like SuperDuper!, TextExpander, or Hazel would be best for the users' experience," Phelps told Ars.
"It's always hard to predict Apple's plans for the future, but if the past few years is any guide, I'd look for the Mac to get even more secure," Hockenberry added. "The trick, of course, is to do that while providing developers with the flexibility to create the applications that their customers want to purchase."

Sanitation worker on verge of receiving benefits; in another village, church builders attacked.
SARGODHA, Pakistan, June 10 (CDN) — A Christian woman here said she has been falsely accused of theft, beaten, threatened with rape and forced to resign her job in a bid to keep her from obtaining full benefits as a regular government employee.
Razia Bibi, a 38-year-old sanitation worker known as Rajji of village No. 47-NB (Northern Branch), Sargodha, was due to obtain regular status as a government employee at Aysha Girls' Hostel at the University of Sargodha at the end of May. On May 7, however, Muslim office worker Safia Bibi accused her of stealing 10,000 rupees (US$120) from her cubicle – and when Muslim hostel warden Noshaba Bibi learned of it, she called female police officers and ordered them to beat her until
she confessed, Rajji said.
"Lady police constables subjected me to inhumane thrashing with bamboo sticks and kept saying that I must confess or they would not spare me," she said, adding that she was beaten for four hours in one of the hostel rooms. "I said that, being a Christian from childhood, I had learned not to steal, therefore I told them the truth, but it seemed they were bent on making me confess a crime I had not committed."
Her comment about being a Christian and therefore not having stolen anything seemed to especially enrage Safia Bibi and Noshaba Bibi, she said.
"Hostel officials turned violent, and they called Haaser Khan, the chief security officer of the university, accompanied by two junior security guards, and ordered them to take me into a cubicle and take off my clothes and rape me," she said. "I raised a cry for help, but there was no one to help me."
Her husband, Nayyer Aftab, told Compass that someone informed him that his wife was in serious trouble at her workplace. Rushing to the girls' hostel, he said, he found the security guards dragging his wife on the ground as she screamed for help. When Aftab asked why they were treating her this way, Khan charged him with his baton and left him injured on the ground, Aftab said. The chief security officer took Rajji inside.
"Both hostel officers, Noshaba and Safia, told me that Rajji had stolen 10,000 rupees, and that because she didn't confess her crime the security guards were going to teach her a lesson," Aftab said.
Aftab said he knew that his wife would not confess to theft even to spare herself from rape, and he pleaded with the two accusers to stop the security guards, promising that he would pay them the amount of the allegedly stolen money.
"At this both Safia and Noshaba ordered to bring Rajji out and not rape her," Aftab told Compass. "They gave me an hour to make payment of the allegedly stolen amount."
He said he went to friends and relatives to gather up the 10,000 rupees and gave it to Safia Bibi and Noshaba Bibi, but Aftab said they still compelled his wife to resign by forcibly obtaining a thumb print from the illiterate woman on a resignation statement.
Rajji said she had been happily looking forward to obtaining regular employee status.
"In three weeks I was going to become a regular employee as a sanitation worker at the university, but as I am a Christian, the Muslim hostel officers Safia and Noshaba wanted a Muslim regular employee after their hearts instead of me," she told Compass.
Noshaba Bibi initially refused to comment on the allegation that she falsely accused the Christian woman of theft in order to provide a job to someone of her choice. After repeated questioning by Compass, however, she became exasperated and used coarse language, yelling, "Yes, I have done it, do whatever you want!"
The Christian couple in the village in Punjab Province has an 8-year-old daughter and two sons, ages 9 and 5.
Christians Beaten, Jailed
In a village in southern Punjab Province, Muslim extremists on Saturday (June 5) attacked Christians trying to construct a church building, and then got police to file charges against them for defending themselves, according to the All Pakistan Minorities Alliance (APMA).
A club-wielding Muslim mob led by Muhammad Nazir Ahmed beat Christians who were laying the foundation for the church building in village No. 184/9-L, in Cheechawatni of Sahiwal district, seriously injuring several of them, said Javed Akber Gill, APMA district coordinator in Sahiwal.
Ahmed later enlisted Inspector Allah Ditta, station house officer at the Dera Rahim police station, to file charges against four Christians – Noreen Mumtaz, who is pregnant, and her husband Mumtaz Inayat, Aftab Inayat and Kashif Masih, Christian sources said. All four were charged with critically injuring others and attempting to kill or threaten to kill, they said.
Inspector Ditta refused to respond to repeated requests by Compass for comment on allegations that he colluded with the Muslim extremists to falsely accuse the Christian victims of the attack.
The accused Christians pleaded with police that they were innocent, to no avail. Gill said that he was doing his best to resolve the issue peacefully in an attempt to avert the kind of violence that hit the Christian communities of Gojra and Korian in July and August of 2009 and Shanti Nagar in 1997.
The Rev. John Rizwani of Cheechawatni city said the government had allotted a small piece of land to the Christians for the building and that they had permission to build. There are only 25 Christians' homes amid the approximately 500 Muslim homes in the village.
Ferhan Mazher, chairman of Rays of Development Organization, Azher Kalim, general secretary the Christians Lawyers Foundation and Khalid Gill, head of APMA in Punjab, condemned the attack.
"Attacks on worship places usurp basic human rights and constitute a conspiracy to belittle the name of Pakistan worldwide," Mazher said.

Illinois House remembers military dead
Illinois House members took a few minutes Monday to remember members of the military from the state who died this past year.
Organized by Rep. Ron Stephens, R-Greenville, the annual Fallen Heroes Remembrance was attended by Illinois National Guard Members who presented the flags of the United States and Illinois, placed a memorial wreath in front of the desk of the Speaker of the House and played "Taps."
Stephens explained the purpose of the ceremony on the House floor.
"To every fallen hero we say with devotion, we will never forget you," Stephens said.
A resolution adopted in 2005 by the House created the policy of reading the names of Illinois fallen soldiers each year. House members representing the home districts of the 44 deceased soldiers read the names and hometowns of each Illinois casualty.
Rep. David Leitch, R-Peoria, read the name of the most recent fallen soldier from Illinois. Lance Cpl. Benjamin D. Desilets from Elmwood died in Iraq on May 22.
"I think it's extremely appropriate that we take a moment to -- Memorial Day is an ideal time to do that -- just pay our respect to the men and women who have died in service to the country overseas in the last year," Leitch said.
Central soldiers included in the ceremony, their home towns and the dates of their deaths were:
Spc. Ronald W. Gebur, Delavan, May 13, 2006
Pfc. Caleb A. Lufkin, Knoxville, May 25, 2006
Petty Officer 1st Class Gary T. Rovinski, Roseville, June 5, 2006

On Hoshana Rabbah the chazan or the sheliach tzibbur dons a white kitl as he does on Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur… The Zohar on Vayehi 120a and Terumah 142a tells us that that while we are all judged on Yom Kippur the verdict is not handed down until Shemini Atzeret, but our last chance to do tshuvah is on Hoshana Rabboh…
At the end of each of the seven rounds of circling the bet haknesset we stop to hear the blowing of the shofar… This is not one of the Days of Awe yet there are tremendous similarities in the ritual. CHaZa"L never referred to this day as being a Day of Judgment, yet there is a strong hint to back up the Zohar's assertion in the fact that in the days of the Temple the sacrifices corresponding to the Days of Judgment and Shmini Atzeret were the same. Some Mahzorim attested to the special status of Hoshana Rabbah in the High Holy Days prayer U-netaneh Tokef, having the following version: "On Rosh ha-Shanah judgment is made, and on Yom Kippur it is written, and on Hoshanah Rabbah it is sealed." In Romania it was customary to add some other Yamim Nora'im prayers as well to the Amidah for Shemini Atzeret.
Professor Yosef Tabori from Bar-Ilan University's Talmud Department tells us:
Perhaps the closest connection drawn between the Yamim Noraim and Sukkot is found in the motif of the lulav. In antiquity, waving a branch on high was considered a sign of victory. The Sages interpreted our waving of the lulav on Sukkot as signifying the victory of the Jews over Satan on the Days of Judgment that precede the festival. They interpreted the words "delights are ever in Your right hand" (Ps. 16:11) as indicating that a person holding the Four Kinds in his right hand is showing that he emerged victorious on the Day of Judgment (Vayyiqra Rabbah 30.2). One of the earlier sources describing the special status of Hoshanah Rabbah in the synagogue uses this victory imagery:
When Hoshanah Rabbah comes they take willows, and make seven circuits around the synagogue, while the Hazzan of the synagogue stands like an angel of G-d, holding a Torah scroll in his arms as the people march around him as around the altar. For thus our Rabbis taught: every day it was customary to circle the altar reciting, "Please, O Lord, deliver us; please, O Lord, bring success," and on the seventh day they would march around seven times, as King David said explicitly, as it is written, "I wash my hands in innocence, and walk around Your altar" (Ps. 26:6). Immediately the ministering angels rejoice and proclaim, "the people of Israel are victorious." (Midrash Tehillim, Buber ed., 17.5)
[..]Thus, the entire period between Rosh ha-Shanah and the last day of Sukkot is a period during which one can still affect the verdict on rain for the better. According to a tradition ascribed to Rabbenu Tam, those who insist on reading the haftarah of Shuvah Yisrael on the Sabbath between Rosh ha-Shanah and Yom Kippur are making a mistake, since this haftarah was set for the Sabbath before Sukkot. The reason is that "Shuvah (Hosea 14:2-10) is directed towards praying for rain, since we conclude [the haftara] with a passage from Joel [the reading, Joel 2:15-27, sounds like an assemblage for prayers for rain and includes the verse "For He has given you the early rain in kindness"] and on Sukkot judgment is passed for the rain, and they are proclaimed before the judges[mentioned in Joel 2:16]" (Mahzor Vitri, p. 224).
In conclusion, even though we are especially enjoined to rejoice during the festival of Sukkot, we must not forget that we are in the process of being judged concerning the rain.
I pray that each one of us has indeed emerged victorious, may this year be one blessed with everything each of us truly needs. May it be a year of health, prosperity, and happiness; may it be a year with no tears, except for tears of joy. May this be the year when peace breaks out triumphant both on a global as well as on each individual's level!

Olympic Pita(58 West 38th Street; New York, NY 10018; Telephone: 212.869.7482), provides proof positive that a restaurant in Manhattan can provide good, wholesome, food without being expensive.
I was there on a recent Sunday and the presentation was simple, the taste very good, the atmosphere warm and inviting.
I started the meal with a very unusual sushi roll, Sabich… It consists of hard boiled egg, pickled cucumbers and eggplant. No fish of any kind! Very tasty and imaginative adaptation of a traditional Iraqi dish.
I also had their 5 Sampler Mezze, it included israeli salad, fried eggplant, tabouli, Moroccan carrot and matbuha. Each of these was excellent.
I followed with a Beef Eye Steak.
It was tender, juicy, somewhat smoky and absolutely delectable. I also had their Shawarma, which comes wrapped in rice and paper to look like a pair of exotic flowers. These two were succulent.
I also had an Iraqi Style Beef skewer.
A very aromatic ground spiced beef, nice tasting, tender and juicy.
I also had the in-house Lafa (an oversized, thin pita) which I managed to photograph while baking.
There, on the left side wall is mine. I got it piping hot! Those middle easterners know what's good! I washed it all down with a glass of very good red house wine.
Though it is located in midtown Manhattan, the prices are very Brooklyn. The food was unpretentious, but the quality, the taste, went far above their price range. No fancy French or Italian names here, merely standard Mediterranean and Middle Eastern fare. I will most definitely be back.

"I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy."
Musician Tom Waits, as quoted in the Yale Book of Quotations
For years I've urged people to consider giving great reference books as holiday gifts, especially to families. Not many $25 bestsellers deliver as much value as the $12.99 World Almanac and Book of Facts, more than a thousand pages packed with sports statistics, election results, the most popular baby names, documents like the Gettysburg Address and more. And in this weekend's Wall Street Journal Donald Altschiller, a librarian at Boston University, offers a terrific starter list for shoppers in the form of a quintet of reference books that he sees as essential for a home library.
Four of Altschiller's choices have appeared — in some cases, repeatedly — on my own lists of gift-book recommendations: the Yale Book of Quotations (Yale, 2006), the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language: Fourth Edition (Houghton Mifflin, 2006), the Merck Manual of Medical Information: Second Edition (2003) and that World Almanac and Book of Facts (World Almanac, 2008). So I'll take his word for the fifth: the Oxford Atlas of the World (Oxford University Press, 2007). Altschiller explains his choices in "Five Best" online.wsj.com/article/SB122125935106030191.html?mod=2_1167_1 (which accurately describes, for example, some advantages of the Yale Book of Quotations over Bartlett's). His article also contains a few facts that, as often as I've written about these books, I didn't know. One involves the World Almanac: "In November 1963, during the rushed swearing-in ceremony aboard Air Force One, Lyndon Johnson recited the presidential oath from this invaluable resource."

Today's News: Our Take - The Good Wife Bosses on Alicia and Will, "War" at the Firm and Kalinda 2.0
Breathe easy, Good Wife fans. The end of the show isn't near. Just the end of Peter's gubernatorial campaign.
"We have every reason to anticipate we're coming back," co-creator and executive producer Michelle King told reporters on a conference call Monday. Added her husband, co-creator and executive producer Robert King, "We're writing as if we're coming back."
No one can blame fans of the CBS legal drama for being concerned. For all the show's critical acclaim and big-name guest stars, The Good Wife dipped to a series low 1.4 rating in the adults ages 18-49 demo on Feb. 17. The show bounced back to a 1.6 the following week, and the Kings said the ratings haven't been an issue with CBS. "They're very sophisticated in terms of how the ratings work," Michelle said. "They've never given anything but a positive response and they really focus on the creative and just say that they're fans of the show."
Creatively, the show is enjoying a recent resurgence with critics now that Alicia (Julianna Margulies) has been made an equity partner at the once-again-profitable Lockhart Gardner and Peter's campaign to become the next Governor of Illinois is hitting its peak. So what's next for Alicia and Will (Josh Charles) after their weak moment? When will fans find out if Peter (Chris Noth) is headed to the Governor's mansion? Read on for all that and more:
Willicia, the sequel? Not so fast...: Just because Alicia and Will kissed, doesn't mean it's time to start dusting off the "Team Will" T-shirts. "She was off the hook ethically and morally because of the way Peter behaved, and now things are warming up with Peter again and she does see a change in Peter. It's a difficult situation because the sexuality with Will doesn't go away," Robert said. "The most interesting love triangle is what happens when the drama doesn't give the character an easy out. So I think it's Alicia struggling with her attraction to two men, and we're going to explore that all the way through the end of the year."If anything, this kiss will drive Will and Alicia away from each other - specifically Will towards Laura (Amanda Peet). "Does it create commitments that wouldn't exist if the kiss didn't happen? That's the question," Robert said.
Cary 2.0: After having visions of yachts dancing in his head, Cary (Matt Czuchry) won't let go of his lost promotion so easily. "He thinks Lockhart Gardner is a corrupt place. They promised something and then pulled it back," Robert said, "and he's not giving up [on his] designs on outside the firm." His quest for revenge may make enemies, but he'll have one big ally in Kalinda (Archie Panjabi). "One of the things that Kalinda likes is when Cary is in take-no-prisoners mode. When he is not the suburban white boy who sits back passively, but someone who attacks something and is proactive," Robert said. "So, yes, Kalinda is attracted to that."
Check out photos from The Good Wife
This means war: After going up against the partners during the mock trial, look for Alicia's aggressive side to start making more frequent appearances as the firm heads towards "civil war," as Robert King called it. "She is going to slowly venture into a place where she can challenge these name partners more. .. It creates a stronger confrontational mode between Alicia and Diane," he said. Added Michelle: "This is a person that now feels more confident. She knows her worth as a lawyer and she's really begun to accept her worth as a partner."
The campaign is winding down ... and heating up: The Kings confirmed that fans will know by the end of the season whether Peter is headed to the governor's mansion. If Peter does win, Eli's (Alan Cumming) next goal will be the White House. But first, he'll have to defeat campaign consultant Jordan (T.R. Knight) once and for all. "What you're going to see in the coming episode is this battle between Eli and T.R. Knight for the direction of the campaign. As much as [Jordan] has shot himself in the foot, he's still limping and he's still there," Robert said. "What is interesting is [Jordan] is not an uncomfortable character. He's just uncomfortable with Alicia because he doesn't know the ins and outs of what she's about."
Trim the Budget: TV characters we want to get rid of
Meet the new Kalinda: After a rocky start to the year - what with her violent ex-husband popping up and then suddenly disappearing - Kalinda will face another hurdle when the firm decides to hire a second investigator named Robyn (Jess Weixler). "What we were looking for was basically as opposite of a young woman as we could find from Kalinda," Robert said. "What we wanted to do was see how Kalinda worked through the eyes of somebody else and through somebody in theory she is supposed to train. But obviously there is this complicated dynamic that exists between these two."
Familiar faces at the firm: Now that she's checked out of Emily Owens, M.D.. - too soon? - Mamie Gummer will reprise her role as Nancy Crozier in Episode 21. As TVGuide.com first reported, Gary Cole will also be back this season but his one episode may multiply if his schedule works out. The Kings are even already looking ahead to next season to bring back Nathan Lane's Clarke Hayden as "a novice lawyer. What interests us is someone that late in life getting what they wished for and does it work out the way they wanted," Robert said. Parker Posey may also return next season as Eli's ex-wife. "There was just such a fun dynamic there, we want to return to that," he said.
The Good Wife airs Sundays at 9/8c on CBS. Who do you think Alicia should choose? Do you want to see Cary and Kalinda hook up? Which fan-favorite characters do you want to return? Sound off below!

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — The brother of Olympic star Oscar Pistorius is facing a culpable homicide charge for a 2008 road death, compounding problems for the family after the double-amputee runner was charged with premeditated murder in the Feb. 14 shooting death of girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp. Lawyer Kenny Oldwage said in a statement that Carl had been involved in a car accident "in which a woman motorcyclist sadly lost her life." He said that "there is no doubt that Carl is innocent and the charge will be challenged in court." Carl Pistorius was already in court last Thursday, as his brother Oscar was facing a bail hearing, and will appear again at the end of next month. Oscar Pistorius was released on bail Friday and his brother Carl was seen driving into the home of their uncle Arnold early Sunday in Waterkloof, an affluent suburb of Pretoria, the nation's capital, where Oscar is now staying. The problems surrounding his older brother Carl are the latest twist in a case that has transfixed South Africa and much of the world. Sunday's revelation of the culpable homicide charge immediately created a stir. "It's also doubly sad because it's involved with Oscar and his brother and all the family — so they have double sort of trouble. So, not good," said Johannesburg resident Jim Plester. Oldwage said that "Carl deeply regrets the accident" and that a blood test showed he was not drunk at the time. "It was a tragic road accident after the deceased collided with Carl's car." He said the charges had initially been dropped, only to be reinstated later. Oscar Pistorius was charged with premeditated murder, but the athlete says he killed his girlfriend accidentally, opening fire after mistaking her for an intruder in his home. On Saturday, the family took steps to lower its profile on social media after someone hacked into the Twitter account of Carl. They cancelled all the social media sites for both Oscar's brother and his sister Aimee. Carl has always been close to Oscar but was notably absent when their uncle Arnold, flanked by Oscar's sister Aimee, read out a first reaction to the shooting on Feb. 17, even though he was also on the premises. The three-story house where Pistorius is staying with his aunt and uncle sits on a hill with a sweeping view of Pretoria. It has a large swimming pool and an immaculate garden. The character of Pistorius also continued to take center stage. For many, it mirrors his public appearances as an articulate, well-spoken advocate for Paralympic athletes facing hardship. Witness statements backing up Oscar Pistorius as a down-to-earth guy were presented at the hearing. Others have described him as a reckless risk taker who has been in trouble before, such as a boat accident in 2009 which put him into hospital intensive care unit. On Sunday, a South African man who said Steenkamp had stayed at his home since September, described Pistorius as moody and impatient. Cecil Myers, whose daughter was close friends with Steenkamp, said in an interview published Sunday in the City Press newspaper, that Pistorius will have the killing of Steenkamp on his conscience. "I hope he gets a long sentence. Gets what he deserves," said Myers. "Very nice and charming to us when they started dating," said Myers. Myers said Pistorius initially used to come into the house but later just dropped Steenkamp off and picked her up when they began to date steadily, and he described the change as a lack of respect. Myers recalled their first date and told the newspaper: "After that he wouldn't leave her alone. He kept pestering her, phoning and phoning and phoning her." According to Myers, Steenkamp "told me he pushed her a bit into a corner. She felt caged in." Myers said he told Pistorius "not to force himself on her. Back off." He said that after initially agreeing with him, it appeared that Pistorius soon took no heed. Pistorius was born without fibula bones due to a congenital defect and his legs were amputated when he was 11 months old. He has run on carbon-fiber blades and was originally banned from competing against able-bodied peers because many argued that his blades gave him an unfair advantage. He was later cleared to compete. He is a multiple Paralympic medalist, and won a silver medal at the 2011 Daegu world championships with South Africa's 4×400 relay team. But he failed to win a medal at the London Olympics, where he ran in the 400 meter race and the 4×400 relay race. AP Sports Writer Gerald Imray contributed from Pretoria. AP Writer Christopher Torchia contributed from Johannesburg.

The two longest standing criticisms of the Nationals presidents race appear to have been addressed in consecutive games.
The Nationals' refusal to let Teddy Roosevelt win for nearly seven seasons was, of course, nationally known — a concern that reached even as far as the White House.
(Photo:Adam Fagen)[/caption]But more grating to many Nationals fans was the introduction of the presidents race as "The Main Event" at Nationals Park.
Since opening day 2008, Nationals P.A. announcer Jerome Hruska has announced the arrival of the middle of the fourth inning with "Ladies and Gentlemen, it's time for the main event. It's the GEICO presidents race!"
For true baseball fans, even those who liked the antics of the Rushmore Four, this was like nails on a chalkboard.
But on Wednesday afternoon, amid the frenzy of Teddy's second victory and the heartbreak of a second playoff loss, was a gift to serious Nats fans.
"Ladies and Gentlemen," Hruska announced, "it's time for the Presidents Race!"
Whether this change is permanent, is tied to limitations on playoff sponsorships, or is related to a longer-term change remains to be seen. The announcement was accompanied by a new graphic that omitted the familiar GEICO logo, the GEICO logo was omitted from the presidents' uniforms, and the ever-present GEICO Gecko was not in his usual spot at the finish line.

Smallest state is big battleground on gay marriage
January 15, 2013
By DAVID KLEPPER
(PROVIDENCE, R.I., AP) — Supporters of same-sex marriage rights plan to assemble at the Rhode Island Statehouse to urge lawmakers to make the smallest state the 10th to allow gay and lesbian couples to wed — and the last to do so in New England.
The House Judiciary Committee is set to hear testimony from supporters and opponents on Tuesday. If earlier hearings are any indication, it's likely to be a long, contentious day filled with protest signs, tears and sometimes bitter arguments over one of our culture's most basic institutions.
Sylvia DeLuca, of North Kingstown, tears up when she talks about how her daughter Louisa had to travel to Massachusetts to get married when her two brothers were allowed to do so wherever they wanted.
"They're being regarded as inferior human beings," said DeLuca, 71, who plans to travel to the Statehouse for Tuesday's public hearing with her husband of 52 years, Anthony DeLuca. "She is as perfect a human being as her brothers are."
Christopher Plante, director of the state chapter of the National Organization for Marriage, said he believes most Rhode Islanders remain opposed to gay marriage. But he acknowledged that the debate has taken on "a higher pitch" this year.
He said he expects as many as 500 opponents will show up at the hearing.
"I don't think we're fighting a losing battle," he said after Gov. Lincoln Chafee and top labor unions announced a new coalition in favor of gay marriage. "What you see is the elites and people who are using their positions for their personal opinions, but they don't represent the voices of Rhode Islanders."
Supporters hope the measure will pass the House, led by Fox, an openly gay Democrat, but concede the state Senate is more challenging. Senate President Teresa Paiva Weed is a gay marriage opponent but has said she will allow a committee vote on the legislation should it pass the House.
Supporters are hoping to build on national momentum after voters in Maine, Maryland and Washington passed gay marriage ballot questions last fall. Meanwhile, in Minnesota, voters rejected a proposed state constitutional amendment that would have prohibited gay marriage, the first time such a ballot question has failed in the United States.
Lawmakers in Illinois are also expected to consider gay marriage this year.
Rhode Island is the only state in New England without gay marriage. Depending on whom you ask, that's either an embarrassing distinction or a welcome defense against the spread of gay marriage.
Chafee, an independent, likes to conjure the memory of Rhode Island founder Roger Williams when discussing gay marriage. Williams founded Rhode Island as a beacon of religious tolerance and was known for his friendship with native Americans.
Chafee said all couples — straight or otherwise — should be afforded the same rights to wed and urged lawmakers to "call the roll" and vote this year to join the rest of New England.
"It is time to honor and affirm that legacy," Chafee said Monday. "Call the roll for Roger Williams. Call the roll for history and I'll be happy to sign it."
State lawmakers have passed civil unions for gay couples, and Chafee signed an executive order recognizing gay marriages performed in other states. But supporters say they're confident 2013 is the year the state takes the next step.
Religious leaders have lined up on both sides. Roman Catholic Bishop Thomas Tobin of the Providence diocese remains a vocal opponent, last week calling gay marriage "immoral and unnecessary." He's urged lawmakers to instead put gay marriage on the ballot as a referendum.
Leaders of other religious groups, however, have taken up the gay marriage banner.
"Christ welcomed all to his table," said the Rev. Gene Dyszlewski, chairman of the Rhode Island Religious Coalition for Marriage Equality. "We hope to follow his example."

This was a-ma-zing! Rather than be on the edge of my seat about whether the dinner underbolus was too conservative or if the fact that he started sweating three minutes into the game would make him plummet, I sat smiling at the pretty dotted line that kept updating me during the game no matter where he was on the court. He could play and I could monitor. Bliss!
I was CERTAIN I had no chance of the range reaching my bedroom from his. We are on opposite ends of the house, and unlike the basketball court, there are several walls in between. But it reached. Just over 50 feet. It didn't consistently read from my nightstand, but within arm's reach on top of my covers it got a signal ALL NIGHT LONG. Sa-weeet!
Then I thought I'd go hog wild and see what happened when he was in bed upstairs and I was two floors down in the basement watching Modern Family with Dave. Consistent signal. No more running up and down two flights to check and see what the extra songs of Just Dance did to his blood sugar. Holla!
We've had it just over a week. In addition to the amazing range, it's simply slick looking and I could barely pry it out of Caleb's hands for the first several days. He calls it "Hawkeye" after one of his favorite Avengers. He mentioned that Hawkeye's "real" name is Clint Barton which is strangely similar to Clara Barton for which the diabetes camp where we spent a week as a family is named.
It's probably too early to comment on accuracy, but I have to say, the experience has been very good thus far. It's missed a couple of lows, but I think that's due to the typical delay between interstitial fluid and blood. What we haven't had are those riding along without a care in the world thinking everything's wonderful until the fingerstick comes up with a 250 situations yet. I could really get used to this. I'm afraid I may already be used to this.
And did you notice my World Diabetes Day blue fingernail? 😉 I didn't think so.

Carson City recluse's gold nets $3.5M at auction
CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) – The tale of a mysterious Nevada recluse's gold has reached a new chapter when a portion of the trove raked in more than $3.5 million at auction.
The allure of mystery pulled some bidders to the courtroom where the auction took place Tuesday. For others, it was the sheer value of a collection unknown to the public before Walter Samaszko Jr. was found dead in his modest ranch-style home last year.
Regardless of motivation, those who converged on the auction could sense the immense value of the treasure upon arriving.
Numerous guards were stationed at the entrance, more in the hallway outside the courtroom, and finally several with bulletproof vests and others with helmets inside the room holding the gold.
Five bidders diligently inspected the 11 lots of gold displayed in plastic sleeves, tubes and felt jewelry display boxes heavily guarded room before the bidding wars began.
By the time all sales were final, however, one bidder had secured nine of the 11 lots for sale.
Carson City's Alan Rowe of Northern Nevada Coin spent $617,000 from his own company, and another $2 million on behalf of the Illinois-based Rare Coin Company of America Inc. It was the uniqueness of the gold that drove his bidding, he said.
"Every one of us has a little hoarder nature in our culture and we all like to have things, but to this degree is quite a story," Rowe told reporters after the auction, adding that the metal value "is not as exciting as the story itself, there's actually value to the story."
He added that some of the coins will be available in the store or online for locals hoping to snag a piece of history. Others, he said, will be marketed nationally and likely on television.
This auction was only for the bullion coins – items that are not necessarily rare, just expensive because they are made of gold. There will likely be a second auction for the larger portion of the collection, which is comprised of the rare coins, said Alan Glover, the public administrator for Samaszko's estate.
"They're buying and bidding on an ounce of gold, pure gold by the weight," Glover said.
In total, about 150 pounds of gold was sold at Tuesday's auction. About $800,000 will pay various fees and estate taxes, and the rest of the profits go to a substitute teacher in San Rafael, Calif., who is the first cousin and sole heir to the trove of Walter Samaszko Jr.
Because of the rarity of the other coins that sale is expected to net higher profits.
James Mitchell of Reno's Silver State Coin and a California-based group named Spectrum Group International Inc. grabbed the two lots not purchased by Rowe or his partners.
Mitchell landed the lot of 4,600 Mexican dos pesos, the largest number of coins in a single lot. He said the story posed no additional value to him.
"It had the most potential for profit," Mitchell said of his purchase. "There was one lot I wanted more, but this one will have to do."
That lot, a collection of 620 Canadian Maple Leafs, was the largest in terms of weight and the coins were the purest gold available. It fetched $1.16 million from Rowe and the Rare Coin Company of America.
No one knows exactly when the collection began, or why Samaszko never sold it. Frankly, no one knew anything about him even though he lived in the same neighborhood for decades. Weeks passed before authorities even discovered he had died in his modest Carson City home. A coroner said he died of heart problems.
When cleanup crews arrived, they made the startling discovery of the 69-year-old man's vast collection of thousands of gold coins worth millions of dollars stashed in old ammunition boxes in his garage.
Officials discovered the trove neatly wrapped and stored mostly in ammunition boxes stacked on top of each other. There were more than 2,900 Austrian coins, many from 1915; more than 5,000 from Mexico; at least 500 from Britain; 300 U.S. gold pieces, some dating to 1880; and more than 100 U.S. gold pieces as old as the 1890s.
Among the coins were meticulous records of the purchases dating back to at least 1964, when gold averaged about $35 per ounce. The precious metal currently sells for more than $1,600 an ounce.
Authorities believe that his mother, who lived with Samaszko until her death in 1992, purchased most of the coins.
Despite the millions of dollars in his garage, Samaszko didn't appear to lead a luxurious life. Records show he only withdrew about $500 a month to pay modest bills. He died with $1,200 in a checking account and just a bit more than $165,000 in a money market and mutual fund account.
Since learning of her inheritance, Magdanz has shunned publicity and not made any comments about the fortune.

'Gold rush' at Illinois medical marijuana hearing
CHICAGO — A public hearing on Illinois' new medical marijuana program morphed into an informal networking session Monday, with would-be growers, retailers and patients collecting business cards and sharing trade secrets.
The hearing in Chicago drew about 200 people, with two dozen testifying about proposed rules for the state's four-year pilot program. Pharmacists said they should play an official role. Patients asked for lower fees. A businessman promoted a Colorado company's expertise in growing and selling.
"It's similar to a gold rush," said political consultant Roberto Caldero of Chicago, who, like many, attended only to observe. "Everybody's trying to stake out their claim."
The Illinois Department of Public Health hearing was intended as a forum for patients, not the business owners planning to apply for licenses to grow and sell cannabis. But most of the comments came from entrepreneurs eager to get involved in what could be a $20 million to $30 million industry.
Jonathan Caulkins of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, a leading expert on marijuana legalization, calculated the annual sales for Illinois at the request of The Associated Press. But in a recent phone interview, he stressed it was his best guess based on the size of the black market and assumptions about Illinois' restrictive law, which limits the illnesses that can be treated and prohibits patients from growing their own.
Illinois officials haven't publicly estimated the size of the potential market or the taxes it could generate from 21 cultivation centers selling to 60 dispensaries. Recreational marijuana would continue to be illegal.
"As with any new program, it is difficult to estimate costs and revenues," Department of Public Health spokeswoman Melaney Arnold said in an email. "We have used internal fiscal and budget staff to review national trends in costs for (and) revenues from medical cannabis programs. However, costs and revenues vary widely from state to state, and Illinois' program will similarly be unique."
In Colorado, legislative economists estimate the state will sell nearly 2 million ounces of recreational pot next fiscal year. At an estimated $200 an ounce, Colorado would sell nearly $395 million worth.
"They should have made this legal 35 years ago," said Ralph Wilson, who spoke Monday, saying he wants to be involved as a grower. "I would have been wealthy by now, instead of a poor schoolteacher."
Out-of-state businesses may pursue partnerships with Illinois residents like Wilson. Bonus points will be awarded to applicants for having an Illinois headquarters and agents who live in the state.
Erik Williams of Colorado-based Gaia Plant-Based Medicine said his company not only intends to form those types of partnerships, but also is making contact with illegal growers and asking them to donate seeds.
"Here's a big secret: There's marijuana in Illinois right now," Williams said jokingly. "We've identified dozens of persons who have hundreds of strains right here in Illinois right now ... and we've already asked them to donate seeds."
The biggest risk for entrepreneurs in Illinois may be a change in national policy based on the political climate, Caulkins said. President Barack Obama recently told the New Yorker magazine that it's important for the legalization experiments in Washington and Colorado go forward, but the federal stance could change.
"Who's going to win (the presidential election) in 2016? Every bit of this is 100 percent, completely illegal on the federal side," Caulkins said.
The Illinois Department of Public Health plans a second hearing May 21 in Springfield. Written comments are being taken through June 2.

While I take a short break from Christmas posts, I thought I would tell you about an early and surprising Christmas gift I received.
An email arrived late last month from fellow Western District researcher Daryl Povey from the Glenelg and Wannon Settlers website. He had noticed the following notice in Alan Bald's book "Births, Deaths & Marriages printed in the "Hamilton Spectator" 1-7-1859 to 31-12-1920″ of which there are 11 volumes:
MARTIMER.–Hannah Martimer (or Mortimer,) wife of a Cavendish carrier, died 26/8/1888, after being bed-ridden for eight months.
"The Hamilton Spectator" 28th August 1888
At last, thanks to Daryl, I had a death date for Rosanna Buckland and yet another variation to her name, Hannah. You may remember the sign at the entrance to the Old Cavendish Cemetery, listing a "Mrs Mortimer", buried in 1889. I do believe now that "Mrs Mortimer" is Rosanna which would make the date incorrect. Rosanna was only 63 when she died and it is sad to find that she was bed-ridden in the months before her death.
Daryl then forwarded the notice for Rosanna's husband, James Mortimer:
MORTIMER.–On the 3rd inst., at his late residence, Cavendish, James Mortimer, aged 74 years. Born in Windsor, Wiltshire, England, he came to the colony in 1851, was a station driver and overseer, then a carrier. He died of dropsy and heart disease, and was buried on 5/11/1895, leaving four grown-up children. His wife died about 7 years ago.
"The Hamilton Spectator" 5th November 1895
As Daryl pointed out, there are a couple of errors in this notice. James was born in White Waltham, Berkshire, England and he and Rosanna arrived in Victoria in December 1852 aboard the "Bombay" and of course James was a station drover and not a driver.
Thank you Daryl for your help once again. Why not check out Daryl's website which also incorporates the Casterton Historical society website. If you have a Western District Family or have an interest in Western District history, particularly the south-west, you are bound to find something of interest. I am constantly amazed at the amount of content on the site.

At public hearing, Foxwoods and Fall River officials tout benefits; others bring up concerns
FALL RIVER — It was a full court press from Foxwoods CEO Scott Butera, Mayor Will Flanagan and Kenneth Fiola Jr., vice president of the Fall River Office of Economic Development, to push for a proposed $750 million resort casino during a public hearing Thursday night at Government Center. Attendees who were seemingly split as proponents and opponents of the project packed the atrium.
In a 25-minute presentation, Butera said Foxwoods has been in existence for 22 years.
"And I can say, you don't last that long unless you run a very high-quality operation, you have a great relationship with the town that you're in, the city that you're in and the state you operate in," Butera said. "You provide great jobs, but not only do you provide great jobs, you provide great economic benefits to the people you're around and great social benefit."
Butera said everything Foxwoods does is done with a great deal of thought and a business model to run properties that are very luxurious and high quality.
"We are going to run a grand resort in the tradition of Fall River, Mass." Butera said.
Speaking on the design, Butera said there will be no casino in the world that will look like the proposed project "because its not meant to look like a casino, it will look like it's been here 100 years."
The proposed casino may have 3,000 slots and 90 table games, a 300 room hotel, entertainment, retail space and over 10 bars and restaurants, and employ about 2,000.
He said there were jobs at Foxwoods for "just about every walk of life."
The figure for employment numbers and eating and drinking establishments is different than originally proposed, with Foxwoods and the Flanagan administration touting 3,000 to 5,000 jobs and about 20 dining venues until Thursday night.
Fiola said that, while it wasn't agreed upon yet, the city would negotiate that 55 percent of the jobs at the casino would go to Fall River residents and an additional percentage to city veterans.
Flanagan said he thought every man and woman coming out of the service should have an opportunity at employment.
If Foxwoods is granted the Region C gaming license, the city will receive a substantial up-front payment and consecutive payments as the construction of the facility moves ahead as part of the community host agreement, he said.
Butera touted Foxwoods' charitable giving and said that it spends about $40 million to $50 million in goods and services to local business.
"I think, for every one job at Foxwoods, it adds a job in local businesses," Butera said.
After about a half-hour into the forum, Butera left for a prior engagement, leaving many residents with unanswered questions from the casino CEO.
Fiola outlined the legally required content of a host community agreement that must be completed before a special election can be held, which includes financial benefits to a community and the economic development of the host community, including job creation.
Flanagan said his goal is to have the agreement complete and have it before voters in early June.
Foxwoods' deadline is July 23 to have the application submitted to the Massachusetts Gaming Commission, and Fiola said the commission is scheduled to award a license by November. Foxwoods would likely begin construction in January.
But the Gaming Commission is considering extending the application deadline.
While many in the audience expressed support for the casino plan, there were a number of concerns, including traffic, the safety of students at the Letourneau Elementary School that abuts the site of the New Harbour Mall, wages, union involvement and money for additional crime and addiction services.
Both Flanagan and Fiola stressed that mitigating circumstances have to be identified in the host community agreement and that a traffic study would be conducted by Foxwoods.
Addressing the residents' concerns about traffic, Fiola said, "We get it."
"The beauty about this thing is you're going to have a say in this, you have a voice to vote this thing forward," Fiola said, " I'm Fall River, you're Fall River. We're all in this together."
"Baloney," shouted out one unconvinced resident.
Before the casino can open, any mitigating traffic issues would have to be solved, Fiola said.
A resident said he felt that because the CEO left early in the forum, there were questions that couldn't be answered by the panel.
"I think everybody in this room should be a little insulted that the gentleman from Foxwoods left," he said. "A lot of people came out and sat down and asked a lot of questions, and no disrespect, but he can't answer these questions."
Questions arose on whether Foxwoods would further expand the footprint of the casino, citing the former Shaw's market property and the next door First Ford car lot.
Fiola said the city could be looking to establish an overlay district in the area that would allow for similar developments.
Edward Roderick, president of the Tiverton Town Council, raised his hand for more than an hour attempting to ask a question. Tiverton is less that a quarter mile from the project site, but under the state gaming law, only Massachusetts communities are allowed to enter into community agreements.
Roderick said he isn't personally against the casino, but all the issues he heard during the forum will be the same concerns in his community.
"I want to make sure the town of Tiverton has a voice," Roderick said.

(ARA) - If you're concerned about the effect of weed killers and fertilizers on your children, pets and the environment, you should know that a natural way to obtain a lush, green lawn is to plant zoysia grass.
Zoysia is a durable, spreading turf grass that grows into a permanent, perennial lawn that naturally resists insects and diseases. Zoysia's deep, vigorous root system rarely needs watering, staying green even in the heat of summer. With naturally dense-growing zoysia grass, crabgrass and other summer weed seeds cannot germinate, eliminating the need for the chemical-heavy weed killers. And its deep root system flourishes without heavy doses of fertilizer.
Unlike other grasses grown from seed or installed as sod, Amazoy from Zoysia Farm Nurseries features zoysia grass and is sold as individual starter plants, or plugs, that can be planted into bare ground or bare sections in existing lawns. Amazoy zoysia grass plugs quickly send out roots and sprouts from which new plants take root. The densely growing zoysia grass spreads outward, choking out all other growth -- including existing turf grasses, crabgrass and other summer weeds.
Within two to three growing seasons in most climates, the grass plugs will spread to completely cover the lawn area. The result is a durable lawn that can stand up to playground punishment, animal waste, summer heat and drought while still looking green and feeling plush -- just like a golf course.
It needs no care or maintenance during the cold months. In areas that get frost, zoysia grass quietly goes dormant and stops growing. Zoysia grass is cold-tolerant, surviving temperatures as low as minus -30 F. When the weather warms up again the following spring, zoysia grass regains its natural green color and starts growing again.
Amazoy zoysia grass is available by mail direct from the grower at www.zoysiafarms.com.

Today's News: Our Take - VIDEO: How Did Adam Levine Do as Host of SNL?
Maroon 5 singer and Voice judge Adam Levine brought his charm, dance moves and abs to Saturday Night Live this week, acting as host for the first time.
In addition to one sketch that featured a dance-off between Levine, Pat Monahan from Train, Jason Mraz and John Mayer (all portrayed by SNL cast members), the episode also managed to poke fun at The Carrie Diaries, Catfish and Vice President Joe Biden. Oh, and there was a new digital short courtesy of Andy Samberg. Check out some of the highlights below.
Levine's opening monologue featured guest appearances by Andy Samberg, Cameron Diaz and Jerry Seinfeld, parodying The Voice in judging Levine's skills as a comedian. In the end, they convinced Levine that the best thing for him to do would be to remove his shirt. They weren't wrong:
Perhaps the best sketch of the night was the Carrie Diaries spoof The Sopranos Diaries, which featured "Anthony" Soprano & Co. as teenagers in the 1980s. "They're dealing with high school, just like everybody else."
Andy Samberg and his Lonely Island cohorts also returned for a "YOLO" digital short, where Levine got to show off his singing chops:
The show also spoofed MTV's Catfish and, miraculously, managed to do so without a single mention of Manti Te'o. Here, Levine portrayed the show's host (and star of the documentary on which it's based) Nev. That's Nev, in case you didn't catch it the first 10 times.
What did you think of Levine as host? What was your favorite sketch?
